Palm Springs Buzzes with Restaurant Week, Marilyn Monroe Celebration, and Cabaret Finale

Palm Springs is buzzing with exciting events this week, offering something for everyone—from foodies to fans of music and Hollywood legends.

Now through Sunday, June 8, Restaurant Week is back with 10 delicious days of culinary exploration. Dozens of local restaurants are participating, giving residents and visitors a chance to sample diverse menus while supporting a good cause. Proceeds from the event will benefit Find Food Bank, making every meal count toward helping the community.

But that’s not all. On Sunday, June 1, from 4 to 6 p.m., P.S. Resorts invites everyone to a free community celebration honoring Marilyn Monroe’s 99th birthday. The glamorous event will take place at Downtown Park in Palm Springs, the new permanent home of the iconic 26-foot “Forever Marilyn” sculpture. The festivities will be hosted by beloved drag star Vanity Halston and feature live music, birthday treats, and a Marilyn Monroe lookalike contest with prizes. Guests can snap selfies with the towering statue and celebrate one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons.

And for those who love live performance, the spotlight shines Monday at 7 p.m. with the Cabaret Riot Grand Finale at Revolution Stage Company. After four weeks of fierce competition, the final four acts will battle it out in a dazzling musical showdown. The winner will claim the ultimate prize—a solo cabaret show at Revolution. It’s an unmissable night of talent, creativity, and community spirit.

Whether you’re indulging in a fabulous meal during Restaurant Week, joining the crowd to honor Marilyn Monroe, or cheering on the Cabaret Riot finalists, Palm Springs offers a vibrant lineup of experiences this week.
